Great location, the staff were very helpful and friendly. Comfort was low because the room had a plastic smell, the shower was built for handicap accessibility so it wasn’t as comfortable, and the bed springs kept jabbing my ribs. Very nice place overall : )

Excellent property for the value and location (next to major route for trams and buses to the center, restaurants, coffee shops, bakeries, and grocery store all nearby). Room was clean and even though we were on the first floor, very quiet. Electric tea pot with tea, coffee and biscuits were a nice touch. Staff were incredibly friendly and helpful. 30 minutes walk to the center and safe at night to do so. The location itself was very nice and quiet from the bustling center, really appreciated all the locally owned shops nearby.

The hotel is undergoing renovation, so I think that's why we were given a room without windows. As a result, there wasn't much ventilation. The room and bathroom were clean. I think that for the price, they could improve the service at reception and the bar. Bear in mind that it's not in the centre, but you have good bus and tram connections

It was really good. The bathroom was neat and refurbished. lovely shower. It's a more on the cozy small side, but for a short stay in Edinburgh, it's close to the tram stop for easy access to train stations. The lock without the key card was fiddly, but the hosts answered their calls very quickly and handled the issues with immense professionalism. i would recommend the stay. It was lovely.
